A life devoted to navigation
Philippe Ridoux, 61, has a fascinating story to tell. Born in Spain during the Franco era, he grew up in Catalonia before sailing the Catalan barques of the Costa Brava. From his first months on a boat to his many Atlantic crossings, Philippe has built his career between the German merchant navy and the French navy, but also as a civil aviation pilot. Today, he is a professional skipper and organizes day and longer sea trips.
Click&Boat, an intuitive platform that simplifies bookings
Today, based in Cap d'Agde, Philippe uses his 1977 Romanee for sea trips. He explains: "Despite a loyal customer base, I felt the need to modernize my booking methods. This is where Click&Boat came into play, on the advice of a friend. I discovered an intuitive platform that simplifies booking management. Before, I used to respond to requests by phone or post. With Click&Boat, everything is quicker and more responsive."
Concrete advantages that confirm the choice
Click&Boat offers Philippe increased visibility and a constant flow of customers, particularly for day trips or longer cruises. He explains: "This platform allows me to stay visible and fill my diary, even when demand fluctuates, especially during the high season. Requests flood in, and although I prefer to get to know my passengers before a long cruise, I appreciate how easy it is to manage bookings for short outings. The positive reviews and customer satisfaction confirm the efficiency of the service."
Click&Boat's flexibility and accessibility have enabled Philippe to remain competitive in an ever-changing industry. Philippe encourages those who are still hesitating to give Click&Boat a try: "It's a modern solution that meets the needs of today's sailors. Thanks to Click&Boat, I've been able to improve my business and offer a quality service to my customers."
A new era for Philippe Ridoux's business
Bookings are now just a few clicks away, and he can concentrate on what's most important: offering his passengers a great experience at sea. Thanks to Click&Boat, Philippe Ridoux has not only modernized his business, but also succeeded in attracting a younger, more varied clientele. He comments: "New generations know little about boating, but thanks to Click&Boat, they can easily book an outing and discover sailing. This renewal of clientele is essential to maintain interest and passion for sailing."
An authentic experience for all levels
Philippe offers day trips, where passengers can enjoy sailing in the Mediterranean, learn the basics of sailing and discover the beautiful landscapes of the sailing basin. He explains: "I suggest an itinerary based on the weather and traffic, and people trust me 100%. Whether it's a quiet day at sea, or a more sporting adventure, I know how to adapt to my customers' expectations."
Sailing with Philippe is an authentic experience. His Romanee, although dating from the 1970s, offers total immersion in the world of traditional sailing, which will charm those looking for a true maritime adventure. He concludes: "My boat is designed for sailing school, it's not a luxury hotel. Think of it as a high-mountain hike with the boat as a refuge."
